I have a spare front bumper, some mud-guards, a set of stock springs, and stock shift ****, and if you make me a good offer, a set of track rays in excellent condition with rubber-3500 miles.

All painted parts are red though....

I've got a BY front bumper and sideskirts taken off the car when I put on the Nismo body kit. If you're interested PM me. (front bumper includes amber side markers)

I didnt' really mean you Fisherprice but you did require some body work. So did you ever get those skirts on? How bout some pics.

It's kind of like the family of someone who dies and donates an organ to another family and they want to make sure that the recipient of the organ is doing OK. Like their "loved one" is still alive!

HEUGE,

Your personal mailbox is full and I can't seem to email you either. About the radiator, I bought mine (KOYO OEM) from Mitch's Auto Parts, Inc. in Detroit. (313) 365-4844, (800) 283-3634. Hope you get her cooling again. Sorry about the smash.

... The problem lies here: inexperience coupled with LSD. Bad combo if you ask me. You guys with LSD need to BE CAREFUL!! It's so much easier to spin out in all situations with LSD as opposed to an open end diffy.
Better yet, for those who are still intimidated by their Zeds, find the closest motorsports club and get a few Solo2s under your belt. It's a great way to push the limits in a relatively safe environment. The 350 (even with an LSD) is actually quite easy to catch, it's just a matter of being comfortable with the sensation and knowing what's required to respond.

However, since the front has been messed up, it sounds like the car understeered into the barrier. Probably easier to do than it sounds b/c once you get off the main road, all the gravel and dirt would be just like ice.

Either way, as a Brickyard owner myself, I feel for you. Good luck.

FritzMan, thanks for the condolences. I have only been to one SCCA event (Novice school), and it was a great learning experience. Witnessing the skill of the instructors, I felt that I really needed to go to more of these events. It is funny that an activity that could end up disallowing some necessary warranty work on your vehicle could end up preventing unncessary body work on your vehicle.

danpflan and everyone who tried to PM me, I am sorry for not cleaning out my PM's, but I missed the full notification on my email account while the my350z system allowed me to keep on sending more PM's out.
